Abstract
An account of the growth of single crystals of the tungstates of barium and strontium in gels has been presented. While “impure” gel has been found to produce three-dimensional spherulites, good quality single crystals have been obtained by using “pure” gel. Some aspects, such as (i) crystallization apparatus, (ii) effect of pH value, temperature, and concentration changes in reactants, have been studied and described. A simple procedure to contrl nucleation sites in gels has been adopted, which has resulted into a dramatic increase in the size of the crystals.Keywords
